You have to testify if you get a subpoena; which is an official document issued by the Clerk of the Court.
Letters do not count.

If you recieve an official court subpoena, then you have to go. Or you will be issued a "show cause" and will probably be fined.

it all depends what the letter states. just by your questions how are we supposto answer. I would call the lawyer on the letter and ask. because if you do not show up for court, there is a warrent out for your arrest.

Actually, the letter comes first. You will probably be subpoenaed next.
Good Luck

The only time you HAVE to go to court is if you have been issued subpoena.

If it is a subpoena you have to go.
The letter is an invitation to testify. if you don't respond they may subpoena you. then you'll have to go

If it is a summons or a subpoena, yes.
Keep track of your mileage if you have to travel very far.
